INCINERATOR.

Application led. April 26,

The present invention relates to incinera* tors which are suitable foruse in incinerating small quantities of refuse, such as paper, etc. Toanswer commercial requirements, these incinerators must be of a sizesuitable to be transported to the user, although they need not bereadily portable. Existing designs have usually been unsightly, and thesheet metal constructionthereof, as well as the configuration of theincinerator, has necessitated their use in out of the way places wheretheir unattractive characteris not a serious objection.

In parks andsimilar localities it is desirable to have theseincinerators located at frequent intervals about the grounds to fa.-cilitate the upkeep thereof. An object of this invention is to provide aconstruction which has a pleasing appearance and harmonizes agreeablywith the surrounding conditions. The specific construction ernbodiedherein includes an incinerator shaped in the form of a tree stump.Adjacent the top portion thereof, and at the side, a suitable opening isprovided to receive the rubbish to be burned. The top of the incineratoris closedr to resemble the top of a sawedoff xstump and suitable holesand grate bars are formed in the body of the incinerator. 'f hestructure is made as a unit with no removable parts and formed withvconcrete and reinforcing material.

The invention will be understood more fully in connection with theaccompanying drawings, wherein:

Figure 1 is a view` in front elevation, partly broken away, showing anincinerator constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the incinerator shown in Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a plan view, partly broken away, showing the incinerator ofFigure 1.

Referring to the above drawings, the inling Z is formed in the front ofthe 1928. Serial No. 272,899.

ciner'ator is formed in the shape of a tree stump having generallycylindrical sides w in which irregularities are cast to resemble thebark of a tree. The lower portion of the sides may liare outwardly as ata and suitable vent holes b are provided to facilitate t-he draftthrough the incinerator.

Above the vent holes b grate bars 0 are provided, these bars beingmoulded with the body of the incinerator. A large openincinera* tor,immediately below the top e. Through this opening refuse may bedeposited within the incinerator preparatory to burning. About the topof the sides a, vent holes f are formed, being spaced in such a manner'that a draft through the top will always be induced, regardless of theweather conditions.

From the above it will be seen that anincinerator of a monolithiccharacter has been provided, the shape of which resembles that of a treestump. The incinerator may be placed in quite conspicuous surroundingswithout detracting from the esthetic appearance thereof and by reason ofits simplicity of construction as well as its ruggedness of characterrequires no attention from the standpoint of maintenance. The entireincineratorl is formed as a one piece casting and there are no parts tobecome lost.

I claim as my invention:

A one-piece incinerator comprising side walls and an imperforate topwall formed integral with one another, an opening in the side wallsadjacent the top wall, an opening in the side walls adjacent the bottomthereof, and laterally extending grate bars moulded fixedly in the sidewalls above the upper edge of said bottom opening but a`djacent thereto.

This specification signed this 19th day of April, A. D. 1928.
